Yes, what is that something like 5%. That's a lot to balance out especially with the stock parts.

Now it will balance right on the spot

I use the same pack except the c... I use 45c.. Seems plenty on the 450PRO DFC.. I wanna try the 65c tho.. Let me know how they do. Funny u mention the connectors... All my pulse packs(all I order anymore) come bare ended... Except my last order.. I got 2 6s 5000 45c packs for the 550.. And they came with ec5 on them.. Makes me wonder why. Lol.. Nice build.. Let's see the maiden!

By the time you buy the connectors that pushes the 65c packs over 40.00 a peace :o
Im still working on getting the tail to hold once that is fixed it will be going out for a good maiden flight up at the school yard
But that will not be till after I get the other packs in . Just from messing around here in the front yard It handles pretty well in ID1 Gets alittle crazy in ID2 . I also still need to put the Phase sensor on and get the gov in the Kbar set up
